Libertarian Candidate Bob Barr Makes His Case

A conservative vote for Sen. McCain is a wasted vote. It is wasted because even if he is elected, he does not stand for conservative values and will not promote conservative values. Government will grow, spending will rise, and liberty will diminish.

But it looks increasingly likely that he won’t be elected, and no one will care about his vote totals if he loses. In contrast, a vote for Bob Barr and the Libertarian Party will be noticed and will have a lasting, positive impact. A vote for Bob Barr and the Libertarian Party will be a vote for liberty and for America’s future.Link.

Splitting the vote on the right merely assures an Obama victory. If you think McCain is bad, take a look at the alternative. How can a libertarian actually wish to embrace 176 different ways to spend your money?

Given that Bob Barr will not form an official opposition party, voting Libertarian is a purely symbolic gesture.
